US sends Twitter messages to Iranians

WASHINGTON (AFP) - The US State Department has begun sending Twitter messages to Iranians, alluding to the "historic role" social media have
played in mass protests against Iran's 2009 disputed presidential polls.

I don't trust the Iranian revolution. I think this is just playing off of the popular uprising in Egypt, and the Iranian revolution is something
quite different. The US controlled the Egyptian dictator, not so with the Iranian leader, so they would have every reason to instigate a revolution in
Iran. The media wants to play off of the emotional level of the Egyptian protest so people will support the Iranian revolution which is US backed.
That's my take on it at least.

One man was killed Sunday in a Tehran square during an opposition demonstration, unofficial reports suggest. At least five people were injured
in Shiraz. The protestors are marking one week to the death of two demonstrators.

Social network users reported that many websites were blocked Sunday including the Gmail service. Opposition website Rahesabz.net reported that the
cell phone network in central Tehran had been cut off. Another report said that overseas calls to Tehran were also blocked in order to restrict the
flow of information to foreign media outlets.

Earlier on Sunday, opposition activists gathered in several areas in Iran's capital.

Iran warned the opposition on Saturday against staging demonstrations after calls were posted on websites for a rally on Sunday to commemorate two
people killed during protests this week, state media reported.

Mike Whitney----Do we know whether foreign agents or US-backed NGOs participated in the demonstrations in Tahrir Square? Could they have
played a part in toppling Mubarak?

K R Bolton--The revolts in Tunisia, Egypt and as they are spreading further afield have all the hallmarks of the NED/Soros “color revolutions”
that were fomented in the former Soviet bloc states and in Myanmar and elsewhere. They all follow the same pattern and many years of planning,
training and funding have gone into the ridiculously called “spontaneous” (sic) revolts.

The organizations that have spent years and much money creating revolutionary organizations in Tunisia, Egypt and elsewhere include the National
Endowment for Democracy, USAID, International Republican Institute, Freedom House, Open Society Institute, and an array of fronts stemming therefrom,
including: National Democratic Institute for International Affairs, Center for International Private Enterprise, and the American Center for
International Labor Solidarity.

It is hard, considering these men's affiliations, to believe that the change they want to see is anything less than a generation that drinks
more Pepsi, buys more consumerist junk, and believes the United States government every time they purvey their lies to us via their corporate owned
media.

While the activists attending the Movements.org summit adhere to the philosophies of "left-leaning" liberalism, the very men behind the summit,
funding it, and prodding the agenda of these activists are America's mega-corporate combine. These are the very big-businesses that have violated
human rights worldwide, destroyed the environment, sell shoddy, overseas manufactured goods produced by workers living in slave conditions, and pursue
an agenda of greed and perpetual expansion at any cost. The hypocrisy is astounding unless of course you understand that their nefarious, self-serving
agenda could only be accomplished under the guise of genuine concern for humanity, buried under mountains of feel-good rhetoric, and helped along by
an army of exploited, naive youth.

In his latest debate on the France 2 TV channel, discussion show anchor Yves Calvi expressed alarm about the possible rise of Islamism in
Egypt and Tunisia. However, here we will consider how, if we leave the emotionally-charged media coverage to one side and attempt to analyse the
contradictions between the West and the Arab world rationally, these revolutions are less of a threat than an example for us Westerners to follow. We
have the opportunity to create a fairer world. Why be afraid?

Does Iran have a central bank? How about Libya or N. Korea? Why are we constantly sable-rattling to these countries?

Who is your real enemy? Those countries or our very own government and its lap-dog media whores?

If we can get most Democrat and Republican laymen to stop voting for the "lesser of two evils" (explain to them that by definition they are still
voting for evil) then Ron Paul has a chance and we can save this country and return to peace and honest friendship with all nations; entangling
alliances with none." Thomas Jefferson

Of course these banks, unlike Rothschild central banks, are state owned and operated. All claim it is their mission to safeguard the value of their
country's currency, but historic exchange rates show they have failed in that regard (or perhaps succeeded if their actual mission were the same as
the US Federal Reserve - to destroy the currency). It doesn't much matter whether corrupt private banking cartels or corrupt dictatorship regimes
control currencies, as the end result will be the same - the people of those countries will endlessly pay into the deep pockets of the corrupt
banksters and Ruling Class elite, who invariably become unimaginably wealthy.
